Former Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Darrion Scott was charged Tuesday with assault and accused of holding a plastic dry cleaning bag over the head of his 2-year-old son.

Scott was charged in Hennepin County Court with third-degree assault and domestic assault by strangulation, both felonies. He also was charged with endangerment of a child—a gross misdemeanor—for allegedly keeping a loaded, unsecured handgun in his unlocked nightstand, where a 2-year-old could have easy access to it.  

According to the complaint, the boy’s mother said she went to Scott’s home on April 26 to pick the boy up when she heard the boy crying and found him with a dry cleaning bag over his head and Scott holding the bag tight around the boy’s neck. Scott said he was playing with the child and wanted to see if the boy could get the bag off his head himself.

The boy’s mother reported the incident to child protection and photographed red marks she saw on the boy’s neck, the complaint said. [Source: Yahoo]
